"The missing circuit in my brain, the circuit that would make me care what people think about me, is a real gift."

... opined Altman in his New Yorker PR piece.

Attention everyone! Attention! I just wanted to make sure that you all know that I don't care what you think of me. As you were.

i would have expected this to be on wired. but i guess he picked new Yorker when he compared prices.

I don't care what other people think of me either, but I can't afford to be seen as such. I'm just not rich and powerful enough to have people lick my boots no matter what. I would certainly find that convenient.

He said people, not the medias.

Who do you think the media's audience is?

Perhaps he should have said "most people" instead of what he did say.

I was half kidding. But sometimes all you care about is media validation, not what people actually think. You have your face in the press and get broadcast and that's it.
